Single and twin engine pilots training on new Elite simulator in India

A new Elite Simulation Solutions iGATE S512 training device has been acquired by Rajiv Gandhi
Aviation Academy, a division of Wings Aviation, and is being used to train both single-engine and multiengine pilots.
Included in the system, which is housed at RGAA’s hangar at Begumpet Airport, Hyderabad, are
GenView’s India visuals, which give real location feeling to student pilots.
The training device is set up to replicate both the twin engine Beech KingAir B200 and single engine Cessna C172R.
RGAA was set up by Wings Aviation in 1995 and has a mix of Cessna and Beech aircraft in its fleet, including the first Cessnas in India with a Garmin G1000 glass cockpit.
Elite, which is based near Zurich Switzerland, used its Indian agency, SRK Aviacom, to handle the deal and Aviacom’s director, Captain Sanjay, said: “The S512 is an ideal and profitable solution for training pilots. Within the past year we have served a good number of customers by enhancing their training facilities, and the Elite device at RGAA is a good example of this.”
